She is just only 17 years old in 2014. She is the youngest Nobel peace prize winner.
Why she is so influential?
On the afternoon of 9 October 2012, Yousafzai boarded her school bus in the northwest Pakistani district of Swat.
A gunman asked for her by name, then pointed a pistol at her and fired three shots. One bullet hit the left side of Yousafzai‘s forehead, travelled under her skin through the length of her face, and went into her shoulder.

In the days immediately following the attack, she remained unconscious and in critical condition.(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
But She recovered her health!!! It’s a miracle.
Her walk started at 11-12 years old. Yousafzai wrote a blog at that time to change the world.
The world was in an uproar over this assassination.
It is a opportunity for her to change the world.
The 2013, 2014 and 2015 issues of Time magazine featured Yousafzai as one of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World”
In July 2013, she spoke at the headquarters of the United Nations to call for worldwide access to education
In February 2014, she was nominated for the World Children’s Prize in Sweden.
Later in 2014, Yousafzai was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
For her “Nobel peace prizeis abeginning, notanend “
One little girl changes the world even now.
“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”

The Nobel Committee lauded Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”
He is 44th President of the United States of America.
Obama had emphasized dialogue and cooperation across national, ethnic, religious and political dividing lines.
Anyone can shout such things. But the reason why winners are great is that It is very difficult to do something more than words.
So I want to pay attention to his childhood story.
Do you know ‘Dreams From My Father‘?
It is his autobiography. He wrote it when the first black editor in chief of “Harvard Law Review”.
It is hard to summarize his youth. But his childhood is struggles as a young adult to reconcile social perceptions of his multiracial heritage.
The most important his concern was ‘who he was’.
I think there is a lot I can learn from him.
Now I know it’s up to me. 🙂
